Background: This study updates the COVID-19 pandemic surveillance in East Asia and the Pacific we first conducted in 2020 with two additional years of data for the region.
Objective: First, we measure whether there was an expansion or contraction of the pandemic in East Asia and the Pacific region when the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency of international concern on May 5, 2023. Second, we use dynamic and genomic surveillance methods to describe the dynamic history of the pandemic in the region and situate the window of the WHO declaration within the broader history.
Article Synopsis
- * Six focus groups with 16 patients were conducted to understand their experiences and coping mechanisms to find meaning following their treatment.
- * Four key themes emerged: reliance on existing meaning sources, distress from impacted sources, the search for new meanings, and utilizing adapted sources, indicating that enhancing awareness of these sources could support patients in their recovery process.
Article Synopsis
- This study updates the COVID-19 pandemic situation in Canada using two additional years of data, focusing on the period leading up to the WHO's declaration of the end of the public health emergency on May 5, 2023.
- It summarizes the trends in COVID-19 transmissions and deaths, analyzes variant appearances using genomic data, and provides historical context for the pandemic's progression in Canada.
- The findings indicate that Canada's COVID-19 transmission rates remained below outbreak levels for eight months before the WHO announcement, while key persistence metrics showed a significant short-term positive trend but a negative long-term trend.
Introduction: Transplant vasculopathy resembles atherosclerotic plaque formation and is a major contributor to late graft failure in kidney transplant recipients (KTR). Remnant lipoproteins and associated triglycerides are causal risk factors for atherosclerotic plaques and have been implicated in late kidney graft failure. However, whether remnants derived from liver (containing apolipoprotein [apo] B100) or intestine (containing apoB48) are clinically more important is unclear.

Article Synopsis
- - This scoping review examines the impact of housing instability on health outcomes and analyzes US health system programs that screen for and respond to this issue, revealing notable variations in methods and policies across regions and demographics.
- - A total of 30 studies from 2003 to 2023 were included, with most focusing on outpatient settings, primarily in academic hospital systems, and largely using custom screening tools rather than standardized ones.
- - The findings highlight a lack of consistency in screening and response programs, indicating the need for standardized definitions and methods to improve effectiveness and comparability in future research.
